Hello all, just registered here on Audioholics, seems like a friendly and helpful community. I'm sure you get about a million of these threads, but if you have a moment there's another floob here seeking your help...
I've never associated myself much with home audio, as I've been living in the dorms my first two years here on campus (blah). I'm a musician of 17 years, and when it comes to audio...I know my stuff. Don't baby me, but I just don't know a damn thing about what names to trust in home theater.
I do not play video games, and I rarely watch movies...I'd say whatever setup I decide on will be relied on 90% for music and 10% for movies. I'm looking for multi-room sound (living room and kitchen) and my budget is pretty much non existent. No more than $400 for speakers, receivers, and wires as I just purchased a new drum kit and korg t1 workstation which completely broke the bank. I'm a broke college student who wants to get quality sound for a small dollar. Where do I start, can anyone suggest a fairly inexpensive DIY project?
